ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant analysts published an article stating that the cryptocurrency market has been persistently sluggish recently, with weakened demand for Bitcoin and other major assets. Data shows that the continuous decline in Binance's stablecoin reserves (especially USDT and USDC) is a key reason for this trend. As a major source of market liquidity, the reduction in stablecoin reserves directly affects the purchasing power and market activity of cryptocurrencies. Since the beginning of 2025, Binance's USDT and USDC reserves have been decreasing weekly, indicating a decline in market purchasing power, limited inflow of new funds, and weakened buying pressure, which is consistent with Bitcoin's recent difficulty in breaking through key resistance levels. Analysts believe that if stablecoin reserves continue to decline, liquidity in the cryptocurrency market may further tighten, delaying any significant upward trends. Conversely, if reserves rebound, it may signal a resurgence of new fund inflows and demand recovery.

ChainCatcher news, recently, Huobi HTX held a Twitter Space themed "Can we still catch the bus in the crypto market downturn?"Crypto KOLs J@Crypto, SteveRen, AK, 527, and Big Brother were invited to attend and shared trading strategies behind the significant drop in the crypto market. The five guests generally believe that Trump's tax cuts, deregulation, and tariff policies, combined with the Federal Reserve's high interest rates of 4.25%-4.50%, have hindered global capital flows and reduced market liquidity.At the same time, the Solana celebrity coin controversy, the Bybit theft incident, and the repeated rejection of state-level Bitcoin reserve bills in the U.S. have led to a concentrated outbreak of negative news, causing the crypto market to decline continuously. J@Crypto believes that the downturn is a short-term shock, and long-term confidence remains. Institutions and traditional funds are slowly positioning themselves, which will extend the bull market cycle. SteveRen analyzed from a technical perspective that Bitcoin has reached the bull-bear boundary EMA200 moving average, and a sharp decline is unlikely to see a quick rebound in the short term.From the perspective of ecological construction, Ethereum is superior to Solana and SUI, with certain potential for an explosion. Big Brother optimistically believes that the Federal Reserve's expectation of interest rate cuts in the second half of the year may boost BTC to new highs. In extreme market conditions, prioritizing BTC with a 70%-80% position allocation, while managing positions and risks, can outperform most people. 527 believes that BTC will oscillate at a high level within the range of 70k-105k. During this period, there may be innovations and explosions in the on-chain ecosystem. Large positions can be allocated to wealth management or held in BTC, while small funds can seize on-chain opportunities.In contrast, AK is more pessimistic. He believes that the bull market ended last year, and the bear market has arrived. Altcoin liquidity has dried up, leaving no room for rebounds; funds can be placed in wealth management products on exchanges like Huobi HTX, such as USDD with up to 20% annualized returns; or one can wait for lower prices to heavily invest in BTC.
